Kia ora! Ayubowan! This week we get personal — Emasha shares her own experiences of facing Sri Lankan marriage proposals, from the not-so-distant past to the most recent ones (yep, that actually happened! 👀).

We unpack the rollercoaster of saying “thanks, but no thanks” to proposals filled with outdated gender roles, misogynistic expectations, and the wild audacity behind them.

✨ If you’re curious about arranged marriages, intercultural relationships, Sri Lankan traditions, or the reality of navigating love across cultures, this episode is for you. Whether you’re in a cross-cultural marriage yourself or just want to laugh at the absurdity of proposal checklists, you’ll feel right at home.

🎧 Tune in and laugh with your favourite Kiwi–Sri Lankan couple as we share honest stories about proposals, parental pressure, and the fine art of gracefully declining — the kind of relationship stories you won’t hear anywhere else!
